History, the sheldoncomics.com way


While not about Canadian technology per se, the famous Antikythera Mechanism was highlighted yesterday in a Sheldon comic. It can't be very often that the famous and mysterious Greek computing device shows up in the funny pages, so it deserves to be highlighted. If only history were as simple as the punchline suggests...

And I did attend a recent talk about the Antikythera computer not that long ago here in Toronto, so there is a slim Canadian connection.
